He'll be the focus of the new "running from the cops" line of sneakers that they'll be unveiling this fall.
A man over-aggressively disciplining his child is similar to rape?He seems obsessed with Winston and did he ever post in the AP thread about the child abuse that was proven?Prove it.God forbid someone defame a rapist.Yes and nothing they have done has been meant to defame Winston
At this point he has a belief and that is fine but there is nothing a little bad mouthing in a fantasy football forum is going to do about him likely getting picked 1.01 in the NFL draft and being a week 1 starter for his NFL team.
This has been heard multiple times, and shot down (prosecutor refusing to charge, FSU absolving him, etc.). Knowing this, they weren't going to cost Jameis a chance at being drafted #1. Even if he did slip a bit, he'd still
Unfortunately, her lawyer aunt asked for 6mil to make it all go away in the beginning. Kinsman's side has always been willing to accept a settlement.
If she causes him to fall to the 2nd round that's a difference of $20M guaranteed vs. $3M.
This is the exact mentality that gave Aaron Hernandez such a long leash and get away with a host of crap before murder. But you people are so invested in a team and its laundry, you'll shrug off rape, murder, child abuse, anything so long as your guy scores touchdowns.
Like, down some stairs?
Even if the 3 Stooges had a legitimate point, they've lost the chance for it being listened to.
Just wouldn't be shocked if Tampa opts to either draft the duck or another position, Tennessee does the same. He likely won't make it past the jets.
I'd bury my head in the sand, too. It's pretty much the only play left to those still emotionally invested in Winston.
Ok, you got me...
Jaysus now I am picturing that cartoon avatar, wearing a Sherlock Holmes foxcatcher hat, stalking the dark alleys of Tallahassee. Laughing in a cab right now, my girl thinks I am nuts
If you read more closely, I was comparing more the fan support for two criminals who dismiss transgressions because it is perceived they are useful to winning football games. But, that said, the differences between Winston and Hernandez only amount to trading one awful act for another--murder v. rape. Neither should be minimized because he throws or catches touchdowns. We saw a lot of that in the Hernandez thread before he was convicted of murder, and we are seeing a lot of that now from a select group of Florida/Winston backers here.
Well the other big difference is that Hernandez was charged and convicted of his crime and Winston was neither but yea same thing.
Actually, Hernandez escaped big time trouble at UF. But, yeah, broadly speaking, the Tallahassee police department and boosters were very effective at protecting Winston, just as the UF police and boosters did their job with Hernandez.
This really shouldn't be that hard, and I truly don't think Tampa takes him at #1. Instead, he takes a big-time fall. Jameis simply is not talented enough to justify the pick in the first place, let alone have to navigate a truly bad person (not "immature," but a bad seed) as the face of a franchise.Congrats on picking #1 Tampa. This kind of luck is usually preserved for Philly.
Tampa is definitely dumb enough to take the guy. The correct move is to trade down and let someone take Mariota #1.This really shouldn't be that hard, and I truly don't think Tampa takes him at #1.

Not throwing INT's is a big part of being a NFL QB.
My problems with Mariota aren't with him learning to tickle the centers balls while he takes the snap and learning the drops. I believe he can do that. My questions are with his ability to make anticipation throws. He made the right throws in college but rarely into tight windows before they were open. Winston is insane in that category, again with the caveat that he can be reckless over the middle.
What makes that quote even worse for Jameis is that both Casher and Darby stated to police that they were only at the bar for an hour and hadn't drank much. He also went back to his apartment during the alleged rape and didn't appear to be a big party night.
Right now? I'd swap Griffin for Winston immediately, if it was a straight magical swap and I didn't have to actually draft him at 5 with Griffin still on the roster. If I could have either of them as fully healthy clean slate rookie prospects, still Griffin. But he's not that guy anymore. And honestly if I put enough thought into it this probably wouldn't even be my answer, because regardless of physical health Griffin has already shown he's not picking up the mental side of the position in the pros.
I think this is what you are being sold, and you're falling for it. He was a mess this year. He got fat, played terrible football the first half of virtually every game, and was absolutely evicerated, looked downright comical at times, against Oregon when it counted the most.
